PizzaExpress Cyprus ranked second worldwide for record dough balls sales

PizzaExpress Cyprus has once again proven its excellence on the global stage, proudly securing second place worldwide among all PizzaExpress franchises for record-breaking sales of the limited-edition Dough Balls over October–November 2025.

This outstanding achievement highlights the continued passion and loyalty of PizzaExpress Cyprus customers, as well as the dedication of its teams across the island. Competing against PizzaExpress restaurants from around the world, Cyprus stood out as one of the strongest-performing markets during the campaign.

“We are extremely proud of this recognition and of being ranked among the best restaurants from all around the world,” noted General Manager of PizzaExpress Cyprus, George Zambas, commenting on the achievement.

“Since 1998, when we first opened our doors, our venues have felt like home for our guests, and that has always been our goal. The love we give is truly returned to us every day,” he continued. “A heartfelt thank you to our loyal customers, and of course to our incredible team, whose passion and hard work make achievements like this possible.”

This recognition is not the first for PizzaExpress Cyprus, which has won multiple awards over the years, reaffirming its long-standing reputation for quality, consistency and an exceptional guest experience. Among its notable accolades are the International Best Award 2024 and Best International Run Restaurant 2012, further cementing its position as a leading international franchise.
